The release manager role is primarily one that is about communication. If a release manager would be part of an ongoing conflict it could prevent them from effectively communicating with various maintainers on nixpkgs.
There is also a chance it coudl taint and potentially overshadow the release process, a risk that should be mitigated early on.
